Toras Chaim

In this week's episode Rabbi Elchonon and his wife Miriam discuss the Torah's message to the people on entering into the land, and the challenge of maintaining an awareness of G-d as the source of our blessings. One of the reasons for that challenge: the feeling of being "crushed" or indebted to the giver of the good.
